Profet93 Thanks for the feedback!
Elixir should absolutely be in the deck. I own a few copies and I still always forget it exists.
Incubator's effect hasn't been needed. The deck can produce such a ludicrous amount of mana that the cost reduction hasn't been necessary.
Price of Earthcraft aside (which I know is a little rich considering I have Gaae's Cradle in the deck, but I've had that thing for years), I think I prefer the creature-based ways to tap my dudes without tap abilities such as Heritage Druid. If it could untap any land, I could easily see it being an auto-include. Probably something I'd proxy up and test out.
Glimpse is absolutely a contender, I think I just need to get some more actual reps in with the deck to figure out if I'd rather have it or something like Rishkar's Expertise in the deck.
Warden is super solid, I just like having access to the ability to shut off certain things that Elvish Hunter provides. Might chalk this one up to "I need more reps" to see if Hunter's ability is super necessary.

There Can Be Only “One”

Nice theme, and good job it looks like you've added most all of the staple 1 drop / cards.
Here's a few more to consider: Heritage Druid, Copperhorn Scout, Llanowar Mentor, Scute Mob

This definitely goes infinite with something, right? This is like Pestermite with half of the Splinter Twin already built in. You can probably do something silly with Heritage Druid, Glimpse of Nature, and Arcane Adaptation. Then do something with Raise the Palisade to act like a Paradoxical Outcome combined with Wrath of God.

Elf Deck (Black and Green)
2 years ago
I was able to play quite a few games this weekend against a friend of mine. He is still working on getting his deck right as well so I don't know how well this would fair against a competitive deck but it did very well for me this weekend. A few things to note though, and please feel free to offer any thoughts you have.
-
The deck was very fast, which I loved. Problem is, within just a few turns of basically every game I played, I was out of cards in my hand. So, I will be focusing on adding a few more pieces that will allow me to draw extra cards to keep the pressure on my opponent. (I am currently waiting on Realmwalker to come in the mail. That is the only card I wasn't playing with, but having a few may help this a little bit.
-
Mana was never my issue. So, because I have so many creatures that help create lands I have decided to get rid of Heritage Druid as I never really found is feasible to tap 3 creatures to gain 3 mana. In fact, I had so much mana from other sources I don't think I ever needed to do this.
-
I need trample. I was able to get so many cards out so quickly that I was able to attack with many creatures, but I could see where having trample will be a must again competitive opponents. I am considering adding another 1-2 Ezuri, Renegade Leader to help with this. To add, I came across Khalni Hydra and although it won't give my other creatures trample it he trample itself and costs 1 less mana for each green creature I control. I should have no problem getting that out by turn 4.
To accomplish the above I am looking to... Remove: Nettle Sentinel Heritage Druid Marwyn, the Nurturer . I might switch out a few others, but these did not play very beneficial this weekend.
Add: Another 1-2 Collected Company, Khalni Hydra, another 1-2 Ezuri, Renegade Leader, and maybe Beast Whisperer for drawing cards.
Thoughts?

Good deck overall! Heritage Druid turns your tokens into useable mana, which can crank out tons of elves early on (although it is a bit pricier). Elvish Promenade is basically Elven Ambush but as a sorcery, making for another token generator. Throne of the God-Pharaoh also works really well, considering you are either attacking or tapping creatures for mana most of the time. I would also cut the deck down to 60 cards rather than keep it at 66, just to keep the deck more consistent.

Elven Kingdom

Hey, well done so far for your first green deck.
Some changes to consider, to further reduce price, up power level and reduce mana curve:
- Sol Ring --> Emerald Medallion
- 1x more Forest --> Castle Garenbrig
- Staff of Domination --> Rishkar's Expertise
- Elvish Guidance --> Growing Rites of Itlimoc
- Regal Force --> Vanquisher's Banner
- Heritage Druid --> Kodama's Reach
- Elvish Mystic --> Cultivate
- Fyndhorn Elves --> Rampant Growth
- Arbor Elf --> Harrow
- Joraga Treespeaker --> Llanowar Loamspeaker
- Eternal Witness --> Bala Ged Recovery
- Pyre of Heroes --> Genesis Wave
- Fauna Shaman --> Overrun
- Summoner's Pact --> Overwhelming Stampede
- Fierce Empath --> Siege Behemoth
- Quirion Ranger --> Llanowar Visionary
Emerald Medallion is the worst expensive price card here. All the Medallions are way overpriced for what they do because they aren't getting reprinted. Castle Garenbrig is not worth $5, you don't need it's small amount of ramp when you can get more ramp from Elves. With Elves, Elvish Guidance is $1 alternative for Cradle, bonus interaction with Arbor Elf.
Staff of Domination can keep power level high without breaking the bank. It's a combo piece with key mana Elves to make infinite green mana to then draw into a wincon. Regal Force and Eternal Witness are creatures who have same effects of noncreature cards, but since they're creatures they can be tutored for.
Triumph of the Hordes, Overrun, Overwhelming Stampede, Ezuri, Siege Behemoth, Forerunners, Thunderfoot, all of these to overrun your Elves is overkill. Consider cutting some of these for more tutors? Pyre of Heroes, Fauna Shaman, Summoner's Pact, Chord, Harbinger can all get Ezuri. Choose one of Forerunners, Thunderfoot or Behemoth? Fierce Empath, Fauna, Pact, Chord can get it.
Good luck with your deck.

If I can presume you’re wanting to lean heavily into the idea of ramping up to huge bombs, then I recommend the following cuts: Wellwisher (good sideboard option for the lifegain, but not maindeck material (doesn’t ramp, I doesn’t augment anything else, is not a finisher), Mul Daya Channelers (much too situationally dependent to be consistent), Joraga Treespeaker (takes too long to become viable, wasted time and resources if removed), Dwynen's Elite (just doesn’t do enough), Nettle Sentinel (I think the idea is to combo into Heritage Druid? But at 2 Druids and 4 Sentinels, that’s unreliable. I’d cut both tbh, unless you’re specifically building the entire deck around exactly that interaction).
From here I’d double down on other cards that do work well, bringing the count up to 4x for all of those. Maybe add some other finishers ( has tons and tons of super powerful bombs to plop down). Hope this makes sense. A deck can be whatever you want it to be, but I’ve found the Jack-of-all-trades-Master-of-none approach to seldom work. Much better to focus on one or two ideas and build solely around them.

Balaam__ I changed it up, let me know what you think! My main goal of this deck is lots of mana ramp with the Heritage Druid and Nettle Sentinel or the Elvish Archdruid and Umbral Mantle combo. But another goal is to get lots of cards and fast with the mana ramp, so I’m playing tanks with all the mana, but not just tanks.
